WebBrowser.DocumentTitle Property

Definition

Gets the title of the document currently displayed in the WebBrowser control.

C#
[System.ComponentModel.Browsable(false)]
public string DocumentTitle { get; }

Property Value

The title of the current document, or the empty string ("") if no document is loaded.

Attributes

Exceptions

This WebBrowser instance is no longer valid.

A reference to an implementation of the IWebBrowser2 interface could not be retrieved from the underlying ActiveX WebBrowser control.

Examples

The following code example demonstrates how to use the DocumentTitle property to update the form title bar with the title of the current document. This example requires that your form contains a WebBrowser control called webBrowser1.

For the complete code example, see How to: Add Web Browser Capabilities to a Windows Forms Application.

C#
// Updates the title bar with the current document title.
private void webBrowser1_DocumentTitleChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
    this.Text = webBrowser1.DocumentTitle;
}

Remarks

This property is useful, for example, when you want to display the document title in the title bar of the application. If no title has been defined for the current document, this property is set to the document location and file name.

Handle the DocumentTitleChanged event to update the title in the title bar when the WebBrowser control navigates to a new document.
